BURNED TO DEATH.
Mother and Two Children Perish I'm
Their Burning Dwelling.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Nov. 26.-News
OF the horr ible death OF Mrs. Martin
and her two children, in Henderson
county, KY, just reached this city. She
lived in a small log cabin near Della
ware. Wednesday night, upon retiring
a small fire was burning in the woods
about the cabin, but they felt no alarm.
During the latter part of the night a
stiff wind arose and the flames soon
surrounded the cabin of the sleepeTs.
When they awoke the whole front end
of the house, the only means Of egress,
was mass of flames Their screams
when they realized their horrible posi-
tion attracted some distant neigh
bors, who arrived too late, as the un-
fortunate woman and her children had
been burned alive.

teen. A young mans fancy, to be sure
like everybody's else, is much influ-
enced by propinquity; it is the woman
of whom he sees the most, with whom
he is intimate enough to discover the
attractions that are often overlooked by
other friends, who appeals to him; but
among a number with whom he is
equally intimate how does it happen
that he selects one especially and finds
in her all the poetry and music OF his
life? OF course the bystander does
not recognize the charm; he often sees
only very commonplace girl or even
a frivolous one in the idol, and wonders
how his friend can be so deluded, and
wishes he could disenchant him, and
sincerely believes that he never will be
such fool that he cannot tell q dl-
vinity from girl of the period

What ale,. Love in Women.

It is difficult to say what it is that
enchants a young mans fancy, what
particular attraction, what "touch of
hand, turn of head" because the OBJ
server is always more or less surprised
that such feeble charms should effect
such large results. One would say that
it cannot be invariably beauty that de-
cides, if beauty had not as many defini-
lions as religion or love, or there would
be no lovely spinsters; it cannot be in
tellect, or we should meet no inane
married women; it cannot be always
amiability, or we should see no vixens
presiding over households; nor social
position, or there would be no mesal-
liances; nor money, or all the penniless
maidens would be left to single
blessedness. It must be some inde-
Unable charm, some tone of the voice,
some glance of the eye, some curve of
the cheek, some tint of the skin, that
works the miracle. With one, grace
carries the day; while another is in
different to this, but is susceptible only
to wit, to blooming color, to shapely
hand, to genial manner. The talking
girl attracts the silent man; she can
say the thing he has always been striv-
ing to utter; tho woman who. like
Nine. Recamier, "listens with seduc-
tion," pleases the brilliant man, who
has no time or inclination to listen to
other peoples ideas; the thinker goes
to the giddy butterfly for relaxation
the dude likes to secure the superior
woman; the youth is dazzled by the
mature accomplishments and knowledge
OF his feminine senior; and the old
beau feels as if he proved his title to
youth by his preference to sweet six.

A Silver Dollar and Gold Double
Eagle. who after an active life Of bust
ness, found themselves shut up in the
gloomy vaults of the Treasury, began
to complain loudly of their hard fate.

A Wise Philadelphia Girl.

One of the greatest bellies and heir
esses in Philadelphia, and a beauty be-
sides, married a rather good-looking
young man without business or penny.
She had been courted assidiously by
one of the greatest beaux in town, q
rich young man with fortune, prestige,
and everything back Of him except that
he was gay and had sown an immense
crop of wild oats. He sent her the
most expensive presents, which she
would not accept. Scores of influential
friends tried to help on his cause, and
the most skillful female diplomates
tried to induce her to discard the young
man, who had nothing and no friends
but herself. Her own family, with an
exception, did everything to induce her
to prefer the rich sutton. Young as she
was. and with all society making pet
of her, she gave up everything-gave
up society, gave up home, gave up
every luxury, and fascination that wo-
men are supposed to hold dear-and
married the man of her choice. When
some one said to her:
"Why did you make the choice you
did? Why refuse SO much that most
girls value dearly?" she replied:
II married for two things-character
and morality. My husband had them
both and the other didn't. I loved and
respected one; the other I could not. ("

A Long-Fen 1yant.

WY doesn't some enterprising fur
niture,builder construct chair suited
to that prevailing female deformity
known as the hustle? asks the Roches-
ter Union. When woman sits down
with her good clothes on the only way
in which she can get her back sup
ported is by having pillow put behind
her shoulders to Offset the bump she
wears. A chair made with an opening
where the hustle would fit would give
rest and support to q considerable part
of the sitter's back. It would rest the
women and it would also rest many

their wives and sisters sitting around
on the edges of the furniture, and wish
ing for something to back them up.

A GREAT MISTAKE

has heretofore been made in the treatment
OF rheumatism, neuralgia and nervous or

failure on the part Of thousands of sufferers
to find relief, even though they have ex-

such Athlophoros is offered as safe sure

this theater, presenting their laughable
comedy, "The Blackvllle Twins This
company is composed entirely of colored
people and is undoubtedly the best now
travelling. The audience last night was
convulsed with laughter from the begin

Mrs. Hyer and Gertrude Revels, as the
twins, acted their part in most pleasing
manner. Billy Carroll and Tom Davis,
the comedians, carried the house by
storm-their acting being extremely
funny. The singing of this company is
very fine, the solos, Duets and quartetts
winning numerous encores. Taken as a
whole this is certainly the most pleasing

will be repeated tonight and will un-

CHICAGO's LAKE FRONT.
The Illinois Central Company Gains
Partial Victory.

Partial Victory.
CHICAGO, March 2l.-ISpecial Telegram
to the BEE. 1.-The Illinois Central railway,
which has grabbed land on the lake front
valued at $50, ,OOO, ,0OO, gained partial victory
in the United States district court to-day. A
motion was made by the railroad company
before Judge Blodgstt to compel the state of
Illinois to close up proofs by May L Judge
Trumbull for the railroad company argued
that the motion ought to be granted because
of the evident disposition of the complain
ants to cause annoyance by delay. Messrs.
Jewett and B. +. Ayre also appeared for the
defense. Attorney General Hunt, E. q.
McCagg. Norman Williams and c. s. Holt,
who appeared for the complainant, all de.
MED that there has been any unnecessary
delay on the part of the complainants,
What delay there had been was caused
by the railroad company itself. BY its agents
1t had lobbied against the bill of Congress-
man Adams, which sought to have the United
States government made party to the suit.
Attorney General Hunt asked Judge Blodgett
If the fact of making the order to close proof
would necessarily prevent the granting of
preliminary injunction restraining the Ill-
nois Central from making any further en-
croachments, as they are doing now, below
Fourteenth street pending the taking Of tes-
timony in the case. Judge Blodgett replied,
mot necessarily So" Then the attorney gen.
eral asked If the order to close the taking of
proof would prevent the United
case. The court replied that un-
doubtsdly on application by the fed
eral government it would be allowed to come
In. Then the attorney general flatly asked the
court to grant restraining order enjoining
the people Of Illinois by the railroad corpora
ton. The defense objected all around.
Judge Blodgett finally said that such an ap-
plicatiOu could not be heard without having
arguments which would practically enter
into the merits tho whole case as, and and thus
said, that It Is my duty just at present to do
so. There Is press OF business on hand
which must be attended to at once. don't
care to take up the matter when 1t must
come to trial so soon, anyhow. The whole
case must be heard in June, and In the mean
suffer-" Attorney General Hunt asked II
their riparian rights respected and begged
that matters be carried no further until the
case had been heard and decision
given. Judge Biodgett coldly replied:
nNo interests will suffer in such a short time
as will elapse between now and June, and
grant such restraining order all motive for
the cOmplalnants to bring the case to Q
speedy trial will be lost and the matter will
be allowed to drag along as it has done for
the last thirty years. The motion for a res.
training order is denied" At this the at
IDLY rejoiced. This is the first signal victory
for their side. An order was also issued
compelling the complainants to close proof
by May and defend ants by May Is.
